The way is simple if you see it

I am of the opinion it is much more blessed to give than receive. But what does that mean? If you give with any expectation I am not sure you have the right motive ( that is not for me to decide for you) I have just found giving with all your heart, soul, and mind feels right to me. It is ironic how often one gets accused of having an alterior motive. That makes sense , of course, because we live iin a culture of 'me first' and it is rare to find someone who truely gives from the heart. Yes, millions do that and no, I am not suggesting I somehow am above the temptation of greed. In fact,by writing this I might be accused of grand standing any giving I do. I can assure you this is written to help me work through some issues and it helps me examine my intent.

I was deeply influenced by three men who gave their entire life to the service of others. I dont recall any of them writing a blog like this so already I dont quite measure up.....and that is ok.....it is all process and I probably have more karma to burn up. I still have this intuition I dont do enough or maybe I do too much and that becomes the real issue.

At this time in history I would rather error on the side of too much vs too little. I am thankful I don't need to keep track of anyone else as I have enough on my plate 'to mind my own business.'

I always admired and admire those who could, in sincerity , expose some of the deeper layers of their life. I am often reminded of the position my teacher took - he would often say, " dont ask me figure it out for yourself, you are capable."
furthermore, he never asked me what I figured out - He left it up to me.

I hope , whenI give, I also leave it up to them. I am not even sure what giving even means anymore. I am not sure there is anything that really belongs to me.......since we are given life itself could we ever give to much"?

As for my conclusion on this matter I willl share that right now I am totally clueless and that is exactly how it has to be.....resting in the question itself, fully engaged in the unknown.

Someone asked me how much I charge for my services. I said either $1,000 an hour or a penny an hour - that is totally up to them. No wonder I have yet to have my first client - OR - maybe I have more than I can handle - that question always puzzles me

You should not have to sell your business if your business is your life
